It was great for the dogs except for a bit of the wire fence had curled and the dogs got under over to the neighbours place. We blocked it off with a bit of wood. House was super comfy, loved the huge couch. Wasnt quite as clean as i had expected...spiders in corners of ceiling too. Also we expected there to be a bathmat and handtowel too. Kitchen was great. Would definitely stay there again. ##### Sharon F. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kidd W. 15 May 2025 ##### kidd W.

We didn’t have enough dishwasher tablets was our only negative. The place was comfy, quiet and has great sheets! Very close to the beach too. We would stay again. ##### Nikki M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew C., Wellington, New Zealand 15 Nov 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing Otaki Beach Nice location close to the beach. Appreciate the b&b was dog friendly. However, we were not impressed with how unclean the place was. It lacked basic maintenance. This included a very heavy dining table with a glass top and a broken leg leaning on one side causing The glass top to almost fall off. A major health and safety risk. No dishwater tablets provided. However the sheets and towels were clean and fresh. We would not stay there again or recommend to our friends. ##### Andrew C.
